Hello!
My name is Caroline and I have been a blogger for FOUR years now. Red is my favourite colour. I like cake, smurfs, roller skates and the number 13.
And your name is? [this is the part where you say your name]
Oh go on, really why not?
I mean just for this post, just for today, why not de-lurk? Why not say hello on this my blogging birthday?

Many thanks Erika!
Happy bloggie birthday. Am I to understand you have been plagued by nutters.
Stuff ‘em!
Why thank you!
Not delurking but can’t resist a game especially if it’s about ME!!! My name is Pacha (not really) and I love smurfs too (this really - I have a - not very complicated - theory about smurfs and communism - Papa Smurf as Karl Marx? It can’t be a coincidence he’s dressed in red!) and I love your blog, your wonderful books and policemen. Green is my favourite colour and 3 is my favourite number and Cadbury’s Caramel, Galaxy and Crunchies are my favourite chococates (oh! and minstrels and maltesers…).
Happy 4th birthday Caroline! All my love.
Oh hello lovely. I miss you. Blog again. I miss your blog and you. Much love to the policeman x
Happy 4th Bloggy Birthday from me (currently 3 1/2 blog years old) too.
Plus, bollocks to the cowardly tossers who think it’s clever to come on here and write childish comments. If they don’t realise how stupid and petty they look….
xx
We’ve been in this thing a long time now, haven’t we? You must be one of my oldest bloggy friends… so to speak

Happy fourth birthday, Caroline’s blog. You know my favourite colours, thanks to Littlest’s interview, and I like chicken nuggets, sequins and snow on branches.
Love your comment, made me sing and ‘These are a few of my fav-our-ite things…’ x
As always late to the party but these things should run for at least a week so Happy Birthday Blog, hope the candles got blown out before the cake melted and all the colours of the rainbow visited you. My name is…well you know that, my favorite colour is a friends smile, favourite food a friends laughter, favorite garment a friends arm draped through mine, favorite place in a friends company. You are seen as friend by many and I know you have a few real true heart held friends just keep remembering that knowing it will keep you strong understanding it will make you fearless embracing it will keep you safe. Being your self good and true and worthy of all the love…well just keep believing, it is all true and not a mistake:0)
